This recipe is way out on the cooking time which is why I have given it a 2-star rating. It took at least 45 minutes for the chicken to cook through properly. I would advise adding the tomatoes and olives only when you are sure the chicken is cooked through otherwise you will end up with tomatoey mush.

A really simple and tasty dish. I agree with the comments below that it needs cooking for longer than the stated time. I cooked the chicken in foil for 30mins, before unwrapping and adding the tomatoes & olives for a final 10mins; the chicken was moist and tasted great. I also added slightly more Harissa than stated, and served together with the Skinny Carrot Fries recipe that you can find on this site. Will definitely be making both dishes again!

absolutely delicious recipe, lovely, healthy, fresh flavors. I've served once with cous cous and once with brown rice. I also seperately roasted some butternut squash which went deliciously with the chicken. it definitely needs longer 15mins though! oh and I went with the other tips on here and used double the harrisa. I bet this would be nice with salmon?

Absolutely delicious! I cubed the chicken, and used a pack of olives with feta. Took much longer than the 15mins, I ended up cooking for 45mins, but despite this, the chicken was lovely and moist still. The feta had all but disappeared so next time will add 40 mins in. Will definitely be cooking this again, maybe adding mushrooms and red peppers to bulk it out (less carbs than potatoes!). Would also be fab with brown rice.

I made this last night, and I have to say it was just fantastic. Beautifully moist chicken breast, punchy flavours and perfect for a hot summer evening. Served it with the bruised potatoes and olive oil that comes with the suggestion. Perfect, easy and very tasty! Give it a go!!! Can't wait to do it again! X

Couldn't be easier to make and perfect for a week night after work. The cherry tomato and olive mix works really well but I have made this several times now and used whatever vegetables I had. Delicious and highly recommended.
